The daily alarm reminds you about recurring events with an acoustic signal at the time you have set. You can also activate hourly time signal that indicates each full hour. This model has 5 independent alarms for flexible reminders of important appointments. Overall I love this watch. I love the fact I can wear it everyday, its comfortable, not too big, it doesn’t get snagged on clothes or objects easily. It looks nice in a suit but can handle a holiday. I wear this watch everyday, and its never let me down. All modern watches keep accurate time, that is a given now, but this watch does that, whilst looking and feeling good and has the added bonus of compass. The temperature gauge works, but just like the other watch temp gauges, its measuring a combination of the wearer’s wrist temperature and the air temperature, which is fairly meaningless. You can take it off and let it adjust to the air temp, but really whats the point? I have manually adjusted mine so that when I’m wearing it, it gives me a reasonable idea of the air temperature, but its not accurate. The countdown timer emits a signal after a preset period of time has elapsed. The watch has a maximum timing capacity of 100 minutes and can be set in second-long cycles.

Perfect for swimming and snorkelling: the watch is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres. The metres value does not relate to a diving depth but to the air pressure used in the course of the water resistance test. (ISO 2281) The Casio SGW-500H-1BVER is a wristwatch that combines analog and LCD dial types. It is designed to be waterproof and has a water-resistant pressure of 10 ATM, allowing it to withstand depths of up to 100 meters. The button tones for using the mode button can be turned off. This means that the watch no longer beeps when switching from one function to another. Preset alarm or countdown timers remain active when the button tones are deactivated. Synthetic resin is the ideal material for wrist straps thanks to its extremely durable and flexible properties.
